About Me

I love people who have a passion for what they do. I love to learn from the best and find out what makes them tick. When someone creates something beautiful; a song,a painting, a photograph, a dance routine or an entire show, I'm more interested in the process of creation, than the final product. I love to see people succeed, especially when I know how hard they have worked for even a little bit of recognition. I am a former professional skater/performer and have toured extensively with the Ice Capades. I grew up in Lake Placid, New York where I trained with many of the world's most well known skaters. I currently coach figure skating in Saskatoon to children and young adults. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of the sport and helping others find their passion in life.
